I still think Lopez is better. Only problem is that the Nets suck so much that he probably doesn't have much chance of making the ASG.

In any case, Bogut is having a pretty good season and wouldn't be undeserving.

Bogut wasn't selected to the allstar game and he should have, ahead of Horford. There was a fair amount of talk about David Lee should've made it instead of Horford, but Bogut has done more and his team has won much more

I'm not really sure. There are lots of player who are doing a great job and improved a lot from last season. Bogut and Gasol are right there, but so is (gasp!!!) Zach Randolph, Bargnani, Westbrook, Carl Landry...

If had to choose, I'd go with Westbrook first, with Bogut a close second and Marc Gasol third, but there a lot of worthy candidates.

I completely forgot about Westbrook. I always think he's been that good because he plays like a veteran.

I think this officially makes the Big Australian the first person selected from the Southern Hemisphere (don't think Manu Ginobilli from Argentina has ever had this accolade ... I'm go check that though)
